Boster.dev: one developer's minimal viable solution for growth through transparency and the relentless pursuit of mastery in their craft. 🙂
Websites can be as simple or complex as the author intends, however, over time original aspirations tend to take a back seat to the shiny technical details and capabilities. This site was originally created to explore GitHub Pages as a possible way to help software developers build their own "equity", establish a personal brand, and grow confidence. It's my hope to stay focused on the original intent with a little help from our friends and disciplines.
Guided by Clean Coding and Extreme Programming (XP) principles and practices, the website continues to grow to include additional disciplines such as Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), DevOps.
